Prelingually deafened cochlear implant users mostly do not achieve a high level of speech understanding with their cochlear implant (CI). We hypothesize that the information these patients are getting from their CI is often too complex for them to…
The intention to change behavior is related to changes in multiple physiological variables. Thermal comfort and thermal sensation are related to these physiological parameters. Furthermore, the intention of behavior is related to changes in thermal…
We hypothesize that more participants in the experimental condition, who are offered the computer-tailored feedback program, will quit smoking and that these participants will become more physically active compared to the participants in the control…
The incidence and types of infection are comparable in sterile suturing or clean suturing of traumatic wounds. Clean suturing is cheaper, less time consuming and requires less assistence that sterile suturing
The purpose of this study is to assess the suitability of a high efficient cardiac rehabilitation program from Canada in a Dutch setting in patients with a MI, PCI or CAGB within 3 months prior to inclusion and compare the efficiency of this program…

It is expected that using the DEM-DISC will decrease the number of unmet needs and increase the number of met needs in people with dementia and their informal caregivers. Informal caregivers using DEM-DISC are expected to feel less burdened and will…
The aim of this study is to test, by means of a randomized controlled trial, the hypothesis that application of PAS therapy with low-frequency acoustic vibrations to demented patients in nursing homes will lead to a significant decrease of nocturnal…
The combination of breast surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a profound effect on the deep myofascial level and in turn, they create a vicious circle of adhesions and lack of mobility and pain in muscles, fasciae and joints around the…
Pain Rehabilitation Programs (PRP’s) are proven effective for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Evidence about the relationship of dose on the effect of PRP however, is unavailable. We hypothesized that shortening PRP will not be…
We hypothesize that RPCA is as effective in reducing pain relief scores as EA, with lower costs and easier achievement of 24 hours availability of pain relief for low risk women in labor.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the web-based intervention 'Leven met Pijn' in comparison to a minimal intervention condition and a waiting list control condition in terms of a decrease in pain interference in daily life…
To investigate whether the addition of preoperative radiochemotherapy to the standard treatment, consisting of explorative laparotomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy if possible, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, improves the overall survival (analyzed by…
The implant stability for the GTS is equal to the Taperloc in the initial two years and also thereafter. Focus will be on proximal or distal migration of the centre of the stem, migration of the tip, wear and survival.
We hypothesized that avoidance of drainage after pancreaticoduodenectomy leads to less secondary interventions, less complications and a reduction in length of hospital stay.
Adding prebiotics or ferments to infant formula may improve digestive comfort in infants. Therefore, the infant formula tested in this study, combining these ingredients, may contribute to improved digestive comfort. In this study it also has been…
Secondary cytoreductive surgery added to chemotherapy will increase progression free survival in selected patients with first platinum sensitive recurrence of ovarian cancer with a minimal negative effect on their health-related quality of life.
The effectiveness of school-based ('Op Volle Kracht') and computerized ('SPARX') depression prevention programs will be tested in a Dutch sample of adolescent girls with elevated depressive symptoms. The programs will be tested…
